Back in #NCAA trial, Daniel Rascher,another pl expert on stand to talk college sports $$$$

Rauscher: scholarship already "a form of payment" to student-athletes. Notes that they get a check when they move off campus to pay for living outside dorms. "It really is cash." The point seems to be that it would not be a big leap to pay athletes beyond the value of their full rides.

Interesting exhibit on revenues for basketball and football. Louisville led hoop revenue 12-13 at $42 mil. $790 mil in total D1 hoops revenue

NCAA now going to cross Rascher. NCAA atty Singla, the designated bad ass, up to question.....

Court reporter has to keep interrupting Singla and Rascher for talking over each other, throws her hands in the air and yells at them. Singla definitely from the school of attack dog cross examination in his style. Can't imagine what his theatrics would be like in front of a jury, and juries generally don't like that badgering...

The NCAA questions focused on showing imbalances in how different colleges would pay athletes if NCAA went to a pro-style revenue sharing model for players....

Oregon State in a given year would pay $3 or $4 million, while Idaho would only pay a few hundred thousand. NCAA argues this would create competitive imbalances...

Irony alert: NCAA wants to intro plaintiffs damages report, would have used if pursued damages. NCAA wants to use for its defense

NCAA finishes cross of Rascher. Pl atty up for some redirect. Looking doubtful will see Vandy linebacker on stand today.

Rascher done. Former Vanderbilt linebacker Chase Garnham on stand, but just for 20 minutes. #NCAA

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:10:21 PM

Garnham a beefy ex-linebacker. NCAA may want to pick somebody other than nettlesome atty Singla to do the cross......

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:12:18 PM

Garnham, who graduated, is talking about good academics at Vandy. Talking more about educational opportunities than O'Bannon and Prothro..

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:14:03 PM

Garnham has given up dream of playing in NFL, didn't make Tampa Bay Bucs and decided to move on.

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:15:38 PM

Garnham says he spent about 40 hours a week during season on football, sometimes more when the team traveled. Part of it each day was doing rehab for his injuries. Would sometimes get up 4 or 5 in morning to get his homework done...

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:19:15 PM

Garnham: if team lost on game day, not allowed to go out. If they won, they could go out on the town. Seems reasonable.

by hmintz6/13/2014 8:20:48 PM

How many times were you injured in college football career? Garnham couldn't even recall all of them. He rattles off foot, groin and leg injuries. No doubt some ammo for what college football player goes through..
